The Session
The Bloomsbury Institute has a large number of students who are entering education after significant time away from learning environments. Whilst this can cause some to feel focused and motivated, others feel insecure about their learning abilities.
Drawing on the Institute’s experience with students unable to feel at ease in educational settings, the Bloomsbury Institute lead this panel discussion to look at the underlying causes of learning insecurities among students, how these can be recognised early, and the innovative methods the Institute has adopted to support its learners.
